The following whimsical circumstances
happened some lime ago in
Kilkenny:?
lA tailor, who was married to a
very sicKiy woman, got enamoured
of a young girl who lived in his neighborhood,
and on certain conditions
he agreed to give her a piomise, in
writing, to marry her on the demise
of his wife; in consequence of which
Mr. Snip passed the following curious
note of hand: 'In two days after the
demise of my present wife, I promise
to marry Miss Morau or order,
value received, under fifty pounds
.-muini^. vjiven unuer my hand this
sixteenth day of May, ?fcc., J. Sullivan.'
Shortly after Miss Moran received
the above note, she died, leaving
it endorsed to a female friend,
who also ehanced to take fever and
died before the tailor's wife; however,
on her sick bed, she also endorsed
the note, and gave it to a cousin,
whom the tailor absolutely married,
agreeably to the endorsement, in
two days after the death of his wife,
and it is said the tailor and his wife
are now living happily in the city of
Kilkenny.*
One of our citics passed a law (hat
no dog should go at large without a
muzzle oil and a man was brought
up for infringing Ihe statute. In defence
he alleged that his dog had a
muzzle. 'How is that?' c|uoth4he
presiding justice. 'Oh!1 said the defendant,
'the act says nothing of
where the muzzle should be placed,
and as I thought the animal would
like a little fresh air, 1 put the muzzle
on his tail/

A Story of the Highwayman.?
Not many years apo, an Irishman,
whose finances did not keep pace
with the demand made on his pocket,
and whose scorn of honest lahor was
unfavorable to their being legitimately
filled, borrowed an old pistol one
day, when poverty had driven him to
extremity, and took to the higway,
determined to rob the fust man ho
could most conveniently, who was
likely to have a very heavy purse.
A jolly old fanner came jogging
along, and Pat put him down instantly
as a party who possessed those
requosites he so much stood in need
of himself. Presenting the pistol, he
ordered him to stand and deliver.''
The poor fellow forked over some
fifty dollars, but finding Pat somewhat
of a green horn, begged a five
to take him home, a distance of about
half a mile, by the Way. The request
was complied with, accompanied
with the mo$t patiT^iz/mg air. Old

Eyeing the pistol, he asked Pat if he
would sell is.

THE NEPAULESE AMBASSADOR.
A London letter writer chronicles
his impressions of the lion oftho season,
the Nepaulese Ambassador:?
Truly he is a gallant, beautiful creature
to look at?thoroughly oriental,
which I think is the most perfect type
of beauty?where the finest symmetry
of form is combined with the purest
and most serene composure of
expression. Every feature of him
seems fine; the eye, particularly, is
clear, full, and brilliant, with an inner
play, and a shooting glance and coruscation,
like a star, when the sky
is one still, cloudless azure. His color
is a light bronze, which only gives
depth and intensity to his countenance.
He has a very youthful appearance,
and is not, 1 believe, much
above twenty, llis step is clean and
elastic; his bearing high, remote from
us, as it were, like that of a prince
who feels as ii it were something to
have been born under the shadow of
the mighty Himalayas * * *
His dress dazzles and overcomes us,
i:i.~ ??
iii\v- u bumiutu ciumi. vvnai are we
dull, commonplace Europeans, compared
to that, with our canister of a
liatjour scarecrow of a coat, and our
straw-wisps for the under map? We
shrink away to insignificance before
this gorgeous figure, like those miserable
ninth-parts of a man who have
bungled us into the thing which we
now arc. JVItflff! how he stalks
nast us with a brave, fierce splendour,
like a panther issuing from his own
mountain gorges. On his head he
wears a white silk cap, closely fit'
tinff, thick set and glittering all over
j with pearl, loops of beads like emI
11 1 *
eraiu cojoreu-sione encircling his
temples, and tl e long feather of the
bird of paradise waving in front* fixed
in a large, curiously-shaped silver
stud, which gleams right over his
forehead. He has a robe or tunic of
rich, deep blue velvet, reaching below
the knee, with loose scarlet trowsers;
and all around his breast and shoulders
hangs an ornamental drapery,
a 1 ind of scarfing, rolled in many
plaits and folds, of various colored
silken tissues. We have been thus
particular as to the dress, because it
is not every day one lias to behold or
describe such a blaze of 'barbae pearl
and gold,' as we have here. He was
followed by a numerous retinue, the
next to Jiim in procession being his
brthers?fine, jolly, dusky youthi?a
Sort of Nepaulese John bulls, larger
and more outwardly powerful than
the ambassador, but with less of
compact energy and finely developed
form- They were dressed in a similar
style to him, but less jrrandly and
lustrously. A number of officers and
attendants came in succession, two
by two, all in the variegated and striking
oriental costume, and all, if possible,
more oriental, nujrc cast-like
and different from anything Euro:
pean than their chief, whose peculiarities
are almost entirely smoothed
down by the superior intelligence
and cultivaion of his own mind, and
by the plastic effects of travel and
foreign experiences. One hoary old
fellow, witli sharp look, and small,
keen, porcupine eyes, made me start
back a little and involuntarily examine
whether he had not a bow-string
or a scimitar under the folds of Ins
mantle, 1 should not willinorlv nlnrr>

Apropos to the Prince, it is stated
that a young English girl of great
beauty and high spirit, has for some
time pusl excited much attention at
the court end of London, first, because
she has been much talked of
as possessing an unenviable but fashionable
reputation; and secondly* because
she courts notoriety by the
style ot her equipage and the clashing
carelessness of her diivli'g. She is in
her way a sort of Lola Montes, determined
to make figure, and reckless
of the means. It is said that the Nepaulese
ambassador has taken such
a fancy that she is to accompany him
to the east. It is also saia that her
Majesty has been much scandalized
by the appearance of this young lady
in tho Nepaulese ambassador's biH
at the opera the said box being next
the one occupied by her Majesty herself.

THE PILO T'S REVENGE.
It was towards night on the 21st
of September, 1834. A small English
war brig, which had been fitted
out for the suppression of smugling,
was lazily creeping along over
the heavy, monotonous swells, just
off the coast of Galway, and on her
deck was being enacted a scene of
somewhat more than common interest.
The day before she had captured
a small boat laden with contraband
articles, together with an old
man and a boy, who had charge of
them; and the rantain of lli?? hrinr.
""O1
whose name was Dracut, had ordered
lhat the old smuggler should be
put in iron. To this indignity the
old man made a stout resistance, and
in the heat of the moment, he had so
far forgotten himself as to strike the
captain a blow which laid him upon
the deck. Such an insult to the English
officer was past endurance, and
in punishment for this offence, the
smuggler had been condemned to
die.
A single whip was rove at the starboard
fore-yard arm, and all hands
were called to witness the execution.
The rope was noosed, and slipped
over the culprit's head, and the running
end was rove through a small
snatch block upon the decK. Until
this moment not a word had escaped
the lips of the bov. He trembled as
hfl lu'iiplrl lllp aw/fltl nrnnnpolinn orwl
as the fatal noose was passed and
drawn tight, the color forsook his
cheeks, and he sprang forward and
dropped upon Ins knees before the
incensed captain.
"Mercy, sir?mercy!"
"For whom?" asked the officer,
while a contemptuous sneer rested
upon his lips.
"For that old man whom you are
about to kill "
"He dies, boy."
"But ho is my father, sir."
"No matter, if he were my own
father; that man who strikes an English
officer while in tho performance
of his duty, must die."
"But he was manacled?he was
insulted sir." urged the boy.
''Insulted!" repeated the captain.
"Who insulted him?"
uV j:j h v._-i ii- i
i.uu uiju su, ieuneu mo noy,
while his face was flushed with indignation.
"Get up, sir, and be careful that
you do not get the same treatment,"
said the captain in a savage tone.
The old man heard this appeal oi
his son, and as the last words dropped
from the lips of his captor, he raised
his head, and while a look of the
utmost defiance passed over his features,
he exclaimed?
"Ask no favors, Robed; old Karl
Kintock can die as well now as any
time; let them do their worst."
Then turning to Captain Bracult,
he changed his tone to one of deep
supplication and said? .
"Do what you please with me, sir,
but do not harm my boy, for he has
done no wrong. I am ready for your
sentence, and the sooner you finish it
the better."
"Lay hold of the whip," shouted
the captain. "Lay hold every man
of you, and stand by to run the viflian
up."
"What!" exclaimed the boy, while
n tpnr fmm his trnvuKlinii' li?l
? - .. l?11
"is there not one even who can pity?11
"Up with him!" shouted the captain.
< i,; lfj? ;i , ,
Robert buried his face in his hands,
and the ne*t moment his father was
swinging at the yard-arm. He heard
the nassing rope and the creaking
blocK, and he Tknew that he was fartherless!
Just a$ th# old man's body slid
from the gangway intp the water a
vivid flash of lightning streamed
through the heavens, and in another
minute the dread artillery of nature
sent forth a roar so long and louvl
that the noerv actually placed their
hands to then ^rs *?. 8Mut out ^10
deafening roar. Robert Kintock
started>.t the soiind, and what had
caused (Tteacl in other's bosoms
sent a thrill ol satisfaction through
his own. ?Uj 4 ' il riivj
' "Oh, revenge! revenge!" he muttered
to himself, as he cast nis eyes
over the foam-crested Waves which
had already risen beneath the power
of the sudden storm* >
"Light* ho!" shouted a man forward,
and the next moment all eyes
were directed to a bright light which
had suddenly Hashed up atoong the
distant rocket
^"Boy, know what light that
is?" asked the captain, a# he stood
\WMM tue m"in rig*ng,tp
"Yes, sir," r&Qffi Robert "it is
Jtto!lym<#rs (itWtr
"What ja it thert for?'1 '<?
A
%Wr* P w
"It marks the entrance to t little
harbor, sir, which lies in the back of
it."
"And can it be entered by a vessel
of this size?" asked the captain, while
a gleam of hope shot across his face.
"O, yes, sir, a large ship can enter
there."
"And do you know the passage?"
"Yes, sir; 1 have spent my whole
life upon this coast, and I know every
turn in it."
"Can you take the brig in there, in
" this storm?"
"Yes, sir," answered the boy,
while a strange light shot from his
eyes.
"And will you do it?" eagerly asked
the captain.
"On two conditions."
"Name them, quickly."
"The first is that you let me go in
peace, and the next, that you trouble
none of the smugglers, should they
happen to be found there."
"I promise," said the captain; and
now set about your work. But mark
me; if you deceive me, by St. George,
ril shoot you on the moment."
The brig was soon put before the
wind, and Robert Kintock stationed
himself upon the starboard fore-yard
arm, from whence his orders were
passed along to the helmsman. The
bounding vessel soon came within
sight ol the rugged crags, and the
heart of every man leaped with fearful
thrills as they were swept past a
frowning rock; which almost grazed
them as they passed. On flew the
brig, and thicker and more fearful
became the rocks, which raised their
heads on every side.
"Port!" shouted the boy.
"Port it is."
"Steady?so."
"Starboard?ouick!"
"Ay, ay?starboard it is."
"Steady?so.".
"Steady it is."
At this moment the vessel swept
on past an overhanging cliff, and just
as a vivid flash of lightning shot
through the heavens and revealed all
the horrors around, a loud shout was
heard from the young pilot, and in a
moment all eyes were turned towards
him. He stood upon the extreme
end of the yard, and held himself by
the lift In a moment move he
crouched down like a tiger after his
prey, and then with one leap he reach
cd tlvj projecting rock.
"Revenge! revenge!" was all the
doomed men heard, as they were
swept away into the boiling surge
beyond.
"Breakers!?a reef!" shouted the
man forward. "Starboard?quick!"
But it was too late. Ere the helm
was half up, a low, tremendous grating
of the brig's keel was distinctly
felt, and the next instant came a
crash which sounded above the roar
of the elements, and the heavy masts
went sweeping away to leeward,
followed in a few moments by large
masses of the ill-fated vessel's wi or.k
and cargo! Shriek after shriek went
up from those doomed men, but they
were in the grasp of a power that
knows no mercy. The Storm King
took them all for his own!
The next morning a small party of
WioCktjo Came uOVVK IVCII5 the 1'Ocks
and moved along the shore. It was
strewed with fragments of the wreck,
and here and there was scattered
along the bruised and mutilated forms
of the brig's crew. Among that
party was Robert Kintock, and eagerly
did he search among the ghastly
corpses, as though there was one
ne would have found. At length he
stopped and stooped over one, upon
the shoulders of which were two
golden epaulettes. It was the captain
of the brig?the murderer of his
father! The boy placed his foot upon
the prostrate body, and while a
strange light beamed from his eyes,
and a shudder passed over his countenance,
he muttered:
"Father, you are fearfully revenged!"
The boy spoke truly. Fearful in
its Conception, and fearful in its consummation
had been that "Pilot's
Revenge.*'

! The Oherokees.?A letter in the |
New Orleans True Delta, dated Fort |
Smith, Arkansas, August 22, furnish-;
es the following information relative
to the present condition of the Cherokee
Nation:
"Every thing is, as usual, quiet in
the country about us, and the Indians
especially arc making rapid advances
by means of institutions of learning.
The Cherokees have two magnificent
buildings at Park TTill, erected
at a cost of about $10,(MX) each,
intended for schools, at which two
hundred scholars may be boarded
and educated at the expense of the
nation.
"A fund of $75,000 supports twenty-one
free schools, under the control |
of a superintendent. I am told that!
the teachers are equal to any em- j
ployed in that I usiness, and that the I
text books arc such as are used in j
the schools oi Arkansas. Each teach-1
ui receives a salary ol about torty
dollars per month. Many of the
more advanced of their youth attend
the seminaries at Fayettville, in this
State. I have been particular is
mentioning these acts, as 1 have a
Yankee notion that to tell what kind
of education the children receive, in j
j in a great measure to describe the >
parents.

Wiiat a Western Lady says of
Queen Victoria.?A lady correspondent
of the St. Lonis Republican,
writing from London, gives a very
interesting account of the prorogation
of Parliament by the Queen in
person. Our American ladies may
be interested in what one of their
country women a fair Missourian
say; to the Queen. Tho lady con es1
.
ponacnt represents her as 'too small '
m stature, nut she has a pleasing
face, and is dressed magnificently,
and she is remarkably easy, graceful,
and dignified in her movements. Her
speech was written on foolscap,
which she rested on her hand, as she
read sitting. She is a beautiful reader.
Iter annunciation was slow and
distinct, her manner was calm, digj
nijicd, and self-possessed: To republican
eyes it was a strange sight
to see a body of men, grouped before
a lady to receive orders, and it sounded
strangely to hear her say, "My
Lords and gentlemen, I have the
satisfaction to release yon from the
duties of a laborious session." But
slie said it with wonderful grace and
dignity, as well as authority. Iler
I speech was short; and every word of
it was heard by every ono present.
Ancient Danish Amusements.?The
rough natures of the ancient Danish
warriors, is well illustrated by their
! custom of dancing around great
I fires made of pine trees, when they
; exerted themselves so furiously holdi
ing each other by the hand, that if
I the grasp of any failed, he was whirl'
od with extreme velocity into the
! blazing mass, whence he was immej
diately dragged, and forced to drink
a certain measure of ail, as a penalj
ty for 'spoiling the king's fire.' Their
humor at table displayed itself in pelI
ting each other with bones*, and it is
j related of an inmate of the ancient
court of Denmark, who was frequent
ly assailed with these missiles, that
he constructed out of the bones
which had been thrown at him, a
very respectable entrenchment a.voln

Louis Philippe's Property.?A letter
from Paris, of the 8th, in the Independence
of Brussels, says:?
"Since Louis Philippe's death the
journals have been snpnkin** ?f the
fortune which he has feft, ami it has
been even said that the legacy duties
would amount to some millions, I
find the exaggeration which I suspected
in these accounts is greater
than I had suoposed. The landed
property belonging to the late King
contains about 86,000 hectares (the
hectare is nearly 2 1-2 English acres)
thus divided: 45,000comprised in the
donation made by the King to his
children on August 7? 1830, and of
Which he reserved to himself the life
interest; 13,000 belonging to the
Kinir himself; and 28,000bequeathed
to him, for his life only, uy Madam
Adelaide, his sister. The gross rev
enue 01 uus property calculated on
an average ot 10 years, is $},98f?,000f.
Since l$48ithas been smaller anil
for 1851 will not, it is supposed,
amount to more than 3,600,OQOf.
But from all this it is necessary to
~Tirfi "Mli .Wi iTH i' TT1 II f MT f >"i"i i-j?
deduct the expenses of taxes, insurances,
management, agency, &x.,
amounting' to l,Gll,OOOf. There,
therefore, remains a revenue of 2,378,000
which at 3 percent, represents
a capital of nearly |79,000000. In this
valuation I do not comprise such
non-productive property, such a chateaux,
parks, and gardens, which it.
must be admitted are not without
importance. For instance, the park
of Monceaux, in the Faubourg du
Koule, close to Paris, is altogether
unproductive, and contains 19 hectares,
worth, say 2,000,000; also the
park of Neuilly, containing nearly
18G hectares, gives no revenue, yet,
if sold in lets, it would- give at least
4,000,000f. I ought to mention that
I have included in this statement the
property of the Duke d'Aumale's
domain, of which the Queen Marie
Amelia has the life use, and which
gives about one hundred and thirty
seven thousand francs.
In fine, to be exact, I ought not to
pass over in silence the moveable
property of the King, consisting of
matter held in common bv him and
Madam Adelaide, arising from canal
shares, and tontines, which withuot
any exaggeration, must be worth
335,000f a year; also Government securities
belonging to Louis Phillippc
himself amounting to 100,000f a year,
including o0,0()0f a year in the five
per cents for the chapels of Dreux
and Neuillv. But this situation, so
brilliant in appearance, is considhrt
bly diminished by the enormous deTits
contracted almost exclusively for the
works undertaken at Versailles and
in the Royal Palaces. The names
of the executors of Louis Philippe
are now known; they are MM. de
Montalivet, Dupin, st De Montmorency
Lanlagne, Harris and Scribe
formerly advocate at the Court of
Cessation."
